I hadn't been in the water in 90 days. That's probably a record for me in the last decade. Way too long! But Christian pinged me on Friday about the possibility of a Saturday paddle, and I said Count Me In. Then a breeze came up and SUP became SUPSailing, with Mr. Charles and Joe Natalie, at Dolphin Road. Thigh high with the occasional legit three footers, we had a fine time. 38 degrees but sunny. Using the Long Island Rule of 100:
Air temp + Water temp + Wind speed + weeks since last session + 5 if it's sunny yielded
38 +38 +9 +12 +5 = 102. I was fine!
Almost windy enough for a foil!
Mad respect. When we get 38 air and 43 water, I'm whining like a toddler and running off to Florida for a long weekend. Spring is almost here. Glad you guys/gals are back on the water.
